The one time I went down there to race, we were the first ones at the track. Practiced way to much, had the gear all wrong ( running alone is much different than race conditions ) Met and fell in love with Dick's daughter, I was like 17 and the pretty lady with that sweet Georgia drawl had me tripping over my own feet! We ran the piston port class with our brand new Komet K-71. My dad raced there in 1975. He ran and won his share of IKF and WKA stuff back in the early 70's with a Komet K88. We raced WKA dirt at Johnson City Tn. and Dick wilson was the pit steward, and during the drivers meeting he told us the way it was. Needless to say things went smooth. I wish the man who put that track in along with Beechnut would call LPS and give them some pointers, his tracks were awesome!
